What is Colormind?
Colormind is a colour scheme generator that uses deep learning. Its model learns colour styles from photographs, movies and popular art, and it loads different style datasets each day, so the palettes it suggests change over time.
You get a five-colour palette that you can regenerate as often as you like. Lock any colour to keep it, and Colormind builds the rest around it. Where you place a locked colour matters: colours at opposite ends tend to produce shades between them. There are also tools to preview colours on a website template, pull a palette from an uploaded image, and a free API.
